5 points learned from the 2025 Golden Globe nominations
Last week was a very strong week for Sing Sing, won two Gotham acting awards and made both the AFI top 10 list and the National Board of Review’s list of the year’s best films. But Globe voters eliminated the film in the best drama category and also left in the supporting actor Clarence Maclin off the list. However, this coldness is not a sign that all hope is lost. Because the Globes have separate drama and comedy categories, there is a limit to the number of dramatic films that can be on the Globes’ list, and there is more room for dramatic films in the 10 race. Best film of the Academy Awards. So there’s still a lot of hope for Sing Sing.
sinister Increase
A commercial hit and crowd pleaser, sinister is expected to perform very well at the Globes. And it didn’t miss out on the nominations, winning Best Picture as well as acting nominated for Cynthia Erivo And Ariana Grande. The film also earned a nomination in the Globes’ cinematic and box office performance categories, a newer addition based on attendance and box office receipts. This is a category where the film could easily win; Barbie won it at the last ceremony. sinister also won best film from NBR, and Jon M. Chu Taking home the award for best director, this is a big win in a year with such a competitive field.
The heroine continues to be chaotic
The most crowded and fierce category this year is still best actress. As mentioned earlier, Globes dropped Marianne Jean-Baptiste while making room for Pamela Anderson and Kate Winslet (Ly), neither of which are considered serious contenders for Oscar nominations. They also give Tilda Swinton a nod for The room next door, this could give her a shot in the Oscar race because that movie still has a lot of potential. Other drama lead actress nominees include Angelina Jolie (Maria), Nicole Kidman (baby girl), And Fernanda Torres (I’m still here). The sphere gave way Amy Adams (bitch), Cynthia Erivo (sinister), Karla Sofía Gascon (Emilia Perez), Mikey Madison (Anora), Demi Moore (Matter), And Zendaya (Challenger) in the category of Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. So, by our count, there are 10 likely leading actress candidates, plus Jean-Baptiste—who still feels strongly about the race after being on multiple teams’ lists criticize. This race will remain one of the most interesting to watch as far as Oscar nominations go.
A late entry will gain momentum
A big question mark this season is how A complete unknown maybe ticket price. Slated for release around Christmas, the film is about Bob Dylan wasn’t ready to show until late in the season. But since it began showing in late November, the response has been favorable. Globe voters were certainly fans — the film entered the best drama category (despite having lots of music, it wasn’t yet classified as a musical) and came out on top. Timothée Chalamet also earned a lead actor nomination. But the biggest nomination worth noting is Edward Nortonin the supporting actor category. Supporting actress Elle Fanning (who won the NBR award) and Monica Barbaro was out campaigning, but Norton was not so present. It’s worth noting that voters appreciated his performance as Pete Seeger anyway, and perhaps the Academy will feel the same way.
